Understanding and managing task status in TaskCalendars.

Status Types

Tasks progress through different statuses:

Not Started

The default status for new tasks. Work hasn’t begun yet.

In Progress

Active work is being done on the task. Set this when you begin working.

Pending Approval

The task is complete but requires approval from a designated approver.

Completed

The task has been finished (and approved, if applicable).

Blocked

The task cannot proceed due to a dependency or issue.

Changing Status

1. Open the task detail page
2. Click on the current status
3. Select the new status from the dropdown

Or use the Kanban board to drag tasks between status columns.

Status Workflow

A typical workflow might look like:

Not Started → In Progress → Pending Approval → Completed

If issues arise:

In Progress → Blocked → In Progress → Completed

Approval Workflow

For tasks requiring approval:

1. Assignee marks task as Pending Approval
2. Approver reviews the work
3. Approver marks as Completed or returns it to In Progress

Tips

• Keep status updated for accurate reporting
• Use Blocked status to communicate issues
• Configure notifications to alert approvers
